The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane IX

[kvz5]

Yeah, that's definitely Bale. Look at the eyes. I think it's him and Hardy's double in almost all the fight shots.

 

[Motown Marvel]

bane looks very unimpressive. why would you cover up all of his muscle?! its BANE!

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Something about all this confuses me to the max, and it's Bale and his beard. Shaves it for Batman at the begining of production (teaser trailer footage), then grows it back (candid shots around production), then shaves it again...Is Wayne gonna have a beard, and Batman gonna be shaved? What's going on with that. lol And Bales beard isn't just stuble, that's two/three weeks worth of beard growing going on there.

 

[Evelisse]

He's a mouth breather.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Well, there we have it. Batman IS taller than Bane in TDKR.

We don't know that yet. A picture from the set doesn't really prove anything.

 

[wikum]

Of course! Christian Bale 6'3, and Tom Hardy is 5'9. I'm saying though that THERE WILL BE camera trickery and they will make Bane look bigger than Batman. I can guarantee it.

If they somehow don't, he still looks awesome and I know he'll beat the living crap out of Batman at one point.

there is no way in hell that christian bale is 6'3.

The mouth is unmistakable. You could almost hear his lisp juts looking at it.

I just wonder how much the mask will restrict Banes mouth from talking clearly....

There were set pics of Bale as Bruce Wayne and he was clean shaven. I do think there will be scenes of him with a beard but he's not going to have a beard all the time when he's Bruce.

Bale is barely over 6'..I'd say more like a little over 5' 11".

on the set i think its hard to hear him. but in a movie it will not be. i guess they will use extra recordings.

CGI for the beard, I guess we already saw it in the teaser.

Put it this way...it won't restrict the microphone in the ADR/overdub booth. t:

He's probably going to rip the sleeves off in a dramatic fashion in future scenes.

It depends on the filming schedule. From the pictures of him in May we saw him with the beard. This seems to correspond with the push up shot in the trailer. Perhaps they shot this stuff already. But this is a waste of time trying to figure it out. We don't know the details. So why bother? We just know that movies are filmed out of order and that actors availability is based on that. That's about as far as we should be thinking with these things. We'll all see it in the end and it will come together. It's pretty trivial.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Okay, some of you are blind as bats! Bale, Hardy, and each others Doubles were ALL present today and seen in the photos. Some were Bale/Hardy, some Bale/Double, Hardy/Double and some Double/Double. I really can not believe so many people have bad vision. Just look at the photos..and I mean REALLY LOOK and you'll notice who is who in each photo. Hardy's Double looks thinner and the cloths are a lot looser. Notice the 'thin' neck on Bane, that's the double..notice a THICK neck...that's Hardy. As for Bale, it's all about the mouth and teeth. But Bale was used more it seems, or the photographer captured more moments of Bale in use. But it's very clear to someone with open eyes, that 4 different people were in those two roles. If I cared enough, I'd take the photoes and point out each myself.

And in each one, Batman is taller than Bane.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

who does wayne actually make tumblers for? or where does he buy them from? did fox give it a small explanation in begins?

The military. But none of them are in production. What they made, is what Wayne owns and has to himself. Bane knows who Wayne is, and he has his "insider" (wink wink) at Wayne Enterprises who helps Bane steal the tumbler. 1 tumbler. The EXTRA tumbler. Yes, there were 3 seen, but each are different and for special camera use. But only 1 tumbler in the film for Bane. Weither or not Batman has another EXTRA is unknown.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Of course, by an inch and 1/2. Bale is only 6'0, maybe a 1/2 taller give or take. Whoever came up with 6'3 are dumb. 'just sayin'. Hardy is 5'9, but both guys are wearing boots and costumes, and all that. But regardless, YES, Batman/Bale is taller than Bane. But like others have said, it's doesn't matter, because camera angles and how it looks on screen can change the view of these guys in the end.

Makeup department.

No. The beard Bale had was his real beard and it's moronic to try and use the makeup department to replicate his real beard just to fit in with production schedule. His real beard will be showcased in all shots. He likely shaved last night and won't be shooting as bearded Bruce Wayne for awhile now.

yes....that's exactly why i also think you know who is you know who.

 

[Diemtay]

But I'm afraid so, yes; I'm just trying to correct this problem so we don't have another Perma-White discussion. That went on for a long time and it didn't make any difference; people who we're against it eventually came around and liked Heath's Joker because he carried the performance incredibly. No doubt Hardy will do the same thing, but in any case I know that they'll make him look bigger; they already have in TDKR trailer.

I feel like....... I feel like I'm going to kill a lot of members here, swear to god. LOL

Spoiler

I won't lie, I would prefer Bane to appear taller/larger than Batman, but if he isn't, it's not the end of the world. The story and characterization is what matters for me... and it helps that Bane looks friggen awesome

Three overused and unfunny memes in one, that's a whole new level of 'fail'.

Wait.....did you just use another unfunny meme??
